Added Bonus!



Barbara mentioned that the first elephant act she worked in was on the Dailey Show and similar to Miss Royal's act. It was thrown together and presented in a display, took three people to work it and she was in charge of the dog.
The other two hotsy-totsy chicks are Donna McMahan and Tony Martin.
She added that her costume was salvaged Ringling stuff.
Dom Yodice would know from what year.

Tony Martin was A louiville showgirl on Cole Bros. in 40s and left Cole with Paul Nelson and went to Dailey Bros. Later she would marry old Cole Show friend Arky Scott, Have two sons and be wiyth him during his Ringling days and later in Calif. at Jungle compound. She then settled here in Sarasota and was quite popular here in our circus community. She had a long bought with cancer. She would be Tony Scott during those Arky years. I knew her back in Cole Show days and later here in Sarasota Mary Ruth and I would socialize with her and other now departed old circus friends. Ton y was quite outspoken but a very nice gal.
